To  Printers  and  Publishers 

To  insure  the  very  hest  effect  in  printing,  and  to  won \ wit f tfe  least  difficulty  and  least 
waste  of  time  and  material,  the  W®,hs  used  should  he  suitable  for  the  paper  to  be  printed  on,  and  the 
paper  suitable  for  the  infs  to  be  used.  ^ s the  cost  of  the  ft n f is  small  in  proportion  to  the  cost 
of  any  job,  it  is  true  economy  to  buy  good  infs  of  their  find,  front}  skilful  ayd  reliable  manufacturers, 
in  quantities  suitable  to  present  wants  and  the  find  of  worf  and  the  season  of  the  year. 

To  (country  Jlfewspager  ‘fdublisfers  and  printers,  we  would  suggest  that  they  should  supply 
themselves  as  frequently  as  four  times  a year  with  newly  ground  inf5  adapted  to  their  wants. 

“insufferable  annoyance”  generally  attends' inf s bought  in  excessive  quantities,  on  favorable 
terms  from  traders. 

(rare  guarantee  all  the  goods  we  mafe,  and  will  return  the  rqoney  for  any  brought  bacf  to  us 
in  tfe  condition  we  seqd  them  out,  but  when  mitfed  witf  oils  or  lint  or  dust  we  cannot  receive  tfem. 
(olainqs  for  paper  spoiled  in  priqtiqg  we  cannot  consider-  careful  griqter  should  stop  his  press 

when  doing  bad  worf.

Quick-Drying  Reducing  Preparation. 

For  reducing  the  strength  of  Printing  Inks  without  dissolving  them  or  destroying  their  tenacity,  gloss  and  adhesive  qualities  requisite  for 
producing  well-finished  printing.  This  preparation  is  an  article  which  printers  have  long  felt  the  want  of,  and  for  which  ordinary  Varnishes  and 
Balsams  furnish  a very  indifferent  substitute.  We  offer  it  in  confidence,  it  having  been  thoroughly  tested  and  approved  of  by  practical  printers. 

PRINTERS’  GLOSS. 

Per  Lb.,  $1.00. 

This  article  adapted  to  Lithographic  and  Type  Presses,  printed  over  colors,  increases  their  brilliancy,  dries  hard  in  a few  hours,  and  is  very 
desirable  for  Labels  and  Show  Cards,  making  them  water-proof  and  durable.
